Since finishing my last fast, benefits are still lingering.

I am more hungry for God and even more "on fire" than I was before.

I have a better sense of discipline in my life. (Who doesn't need more of that?)

I've maintained my weight loss and am continuing to lose.

I have waaaaaaayyyy more energy.

Because of these benefits, I am getting a lot more done.
